I'm checking a listed name of my great great great grandfathers occupation. I can't find what it means. Help!!

Bradbury is a surname. In Old English, it meant something like "broad fort." Most likely, it's a locational name--i.e., the name of a town or village. As people began to leave their home villages in the Middle Ages, they took on the name of their town as their last name. So someone in the Middle Ages named "Peter Bradbury" would be easily identified as Peter "of" Bradbury.

Anyway--maybe you're reading the word incorrectly (old hand-writing can be difficult to deciper sometimes). Or maybe it was misspelled somehow.

I'll let you know if I find anything close to "bradbury" that's also an occupation.

Like every one else I have sixteen Great Great grandparents (You have two parents, four grandparents, eight great grand parents and sixteen great-great grandparents) I do not know what any of them did for a living.

A boniface is an innkeeper. Can't find bradbury as an occupation. If we had a timeframe, that might help.

check out this site. not all names were based on occupations, some were based on towns which seems more likely in your grandfather's case. hope it helps.

If you post his name or a link, someone may be able to look at it and figure out what it means.

Bradbury is a surname, so maybe something is misspelled.
